Making specification curve analysis easy, fast, and pretty. It improves upon existing offerings with additional features and tidyverse integration. Users can easily visualize and evaluate how their models behave under different specifications with a high degree of customization. For a description and applications of specification curve analysis see Simonsohn, Simmons, and Nelson (2020) <doi:10.1038/s41562-020-0912-z>.

This package performs estimation and testing of the treatment effect in a 2-group randomized clinical trial with a quantitative, dichotomous, or right-censored time-to-event endpoint. The method improves efficiency by leveraging baseline predictors of the endpoint. The inverse probability weighting technique of Robins, Rotnitzky, and Zhao (JASA, 1994) is used to provide unbiased estimation when the endpoint is missing at random.

SpectralTAD is an R package designed to identify Topologically Associated Domains (TADs) from Hi-C contact matrices. It uses a modified version of spectral clustering that uses a sliding window to quickly detect TADs. The function works on a range of different formats of contact matrices and returns a bed file of TAD coordinates. The method does not require users to adjust any parameters to work and gives them control over the number of hierarchical levels to be returned.

SpatialCPie is an R package designed to facilitate cluster evaluation for spatial transcriptomics data by providing intuitive visualizations that display the relationships between clusters in order to guide the user during cluster identification and other downstream applications. The package is built around a shiny "gadget" to allow the exploration of the data with multiple plots in parallel and an interactive UI. The user can easily toggle between different cluster resolutions in order to choose the most appropriate visual cues.

This package provides methods for spatial risk calculations. It offers an efficient approach to determine the sum of all observations within a circle of a certain radius. This might be beneficial for insurers who are required (by a recent European Commission regulation) to determine the maximum value of insured fire risk policies of all buildings that are partly or fully located within a circle of a radius of 200m. See Church (1974) <doi:10.1007/BF01942293> for a description of the problem.

Deconvolution of spatial transcriptomics data based on neural networks and single-cell RNA-seq data. SpatialDDLS implements a workflow to create neural network models able to make accurate estimates of cell composition of spots from spatial transcriptomics data using deep learning and the meaningful information provided by single-cell RNA-seq data. See Torroja and Sanchez-Cabo (2019) <doi:10.3389/fgene.2019.00978> and Mañanes et al. (2024) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btae072> to get an overview of the method and see some examples of its performance.

Selection of spatially balanced samples. In particular, the implemented sampling designs allow to select probability samples well spread over the population of interest, in any dimension and using any distance function (e.g. Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance). For more details, Pantalone F, Benedetti R, and Piersimoni F (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v103.c02>, Benedetti R and Piersimoni F (2017) <doi:10.1002/bimj.201600194>, and Benedetti R and Piersimoni F (2017) <arXiv:1710.09116>. The implementation has been done in C++ through the use of Rcpp and RcppArmadillo'.

From output files obtained from the software ModestR', the relative contribution of factors to explain species distribution is depicted using several plots. A global geographic raster file for each environmental variable may be also obtained with the mean relative contribution, considering all species present in each raster cell, of the factor to explain species distribution. Finally, for each variable it is also possible to compare the frequencies of any variable obtained in the cells where the species is present with the frequencies of the same variable in the cells of the extent.

This package provides the core framework for a discrete event system to implement a complete data-to-decisions, reproducible workflow. The core components facilitate the development of modular pieces, and enable the user to include additional functionality by running user-built modules. Includes conditional scheduling, restart after interruption, packaging of reusable modules, tools for developing arbitrary automated workflows, automated interweaving of modules of different temporal resolution, and tools for visualizing and understanding the within-project dependencies. The suggested package NLMR can be installed from the repository (<https://PredictiveEcology.r-universe.dev>).

Programs to find the sample size or power of studies using the Sequential Parallel Comparison Design (SPCD) and programs to analyze such studies. This is a clinical trial design where patients initially on placebo who did not respond are re-randomized between placebo and active drug in a second phase and the results of the two phases are pooled. The method of analyzing binary data with this design is described in Fava,Evins, Dorer and Schoenfeld(2003) <doi:10.1159/000069738>, and the method of analyzing continuous data is described in Chen, Yang, Hung and Wang (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.cct.2011.04.006>.

This package provides tools to assess the association between two spatial processes. Currently, several methodologies are implemented: A modified t-test to perform hypothesis testing about the independence between the processes, a suitable nonparametric correlation coefficient, the codispersion coefficient, and an F test for assessing the multiple correlation between one spatial process and several others. Functions for image processing and computing the spatial association between images are also provided. Functions contained in the package are intended to accompany Vallejos, R., Osorio, F., Bevilacqua, M. (2020). Spatial Relationships Between Two Georeferenced Variables: With Applications in R. Springer, Cham <doi:10.1007/978-3-030-56681-4>.

The SparseArray package is an infrastructure package that provides an array-like container for efficient in-memory representation of multidimensional sparse data in R. The package defines the SparseArray virtual class and two concrete subclasses: COO_SparseArray and SVT_SparseArray. Each subclass uses its own internal representation of the nonzero multidimensional data, the "COO layout" and the "SVT layout", respectively. SVT_SparseArray objects mimic as much as possible the behavior of ordinary matrix and array objects in base R. In particular, they support most of the "standard matrix and array API" defined in base R and in the matrixStats package from CRAN.

This package provides several Bayesian survival models for spatial/non-spatial survival data: proportional hazards (PH), accelerated failure time (AFT), proportional odds (PO), and accelerated hazards (AH), a super model that includes PH, AFT, PO and AH as special cases, Bayesian nonparametric nonproportional hazards (LDDPM), generalized accelerated failure time (GAFT), and spatially smoothed Polya tree density estimation. The spatial dependence is modeled via frailties under PH, AFT, PO, AH and GAFT, and via copulas under LDDPM and PH. Model choice is carried out via the logarithm of the pseudo marginal likelihood (LPML), the deviance information criterion (DIC), and the Watanabe-Akaike information criterion (WAIC). See Zhou, Hanson and Zhang (2020) <doi:10.18637/jss.v092.i09>.

Computation of sparse eigenvectors of a matrix (aka sparse PCA) with running time 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than existing methods and better final performance in terms of recovery of sparsity pattern and estimation of numerical values. Can handle covariance matrices as well as data matrices with real or complex-valued entries. Different levels of sparsity can be specified for each individual ordered eigenvector and the method is robust in parameter selection. See vignette for a detailed documentation and comparison, with several illustrative examples. The package is based on the paper: K. Benidis, Y. Sun, P. Babu, and D. P. Palomar (2016). "Orthogonal Sparse PCA and Covariance Estimation via Procrustes Reformulation," IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing <doi:10.1109/TSP.2016.2605073>.

Fits single-species (univariate) and multi-species (multivariate) non-spatial and spatial abundance models in a Bayesian framework using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Spatial models are fit using Nearest Neighbor Gaussian Processes (NNGPs). Details on NNGP models are given in Datta, Banerjee, Finley, and Gelfand (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2015.1044091> and Finley, Datta, and Banerjee (2022) <doi:10.18637/jss.v103.i05>. Fits single-species and multi-species spatial and non-spatial versions of generalized linear mixed models (Gaussian, Poisson, Negative Binomial), N-mixture models (Royle 2004 <doi:10.1111/j.0006-341X.2004.00142.x>) and hierarchical distance sampling models (Royle, Dawson, Bates (2004) <doi:10.1890/03-3127>). Multi-species spatial models are fit using a spatial factor modeling approach with NNGPs for computational efficiency.

Finite element modeling (FEM) uses meshes of triangles to define surfaces. A surface within a triangle may be either linear or quadratic. In the order one case each node in the mesh is associated with a basis function and the basis is called the order one finite element basis. In the order two case each edge mid-point is also associated with a basis function. Functions are provided for smoothing, density function estimation point evaluation and plotting results. Two papers illustrating the finite element data analysis are Sangalli, L.M., Ramsay, J.O., Ramsay, T.O. (2013)<http://www.mox.polimi.it/~sangalli> and Bernardi, M.S, Carey, M., Ramsay, J. O., Sangalli, L. (2018)<http://www.mox.polimi.it/~sangalli>. Modelling spatial anisotropy via regression with partial differential regularization Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 167, 15-30.

Computes the extended spring indices (SI-x) and false spring exposure indices (FSEI). The SI-x indices are standard indices used for analysis in spring phenology studies. In addition, the FSEI is also from research on the climatology of false springs and adjusted to include an early and late false spring exposure index. The indices include the first leaf index, first bloom index, and false spring exposure indices, along with all calculations for all functions needed to calculate each index. The main function returns all indices, but each function can also be run separately. Allstadt et al. (2015) <doi: 10.1088/1748-9326/10/10/104008> Ault et al.

The heterogeneity of spatial data presenting a finite number of categories can be measured via computation of spatial entropy. Functions are available for the computation of the main entropy and spatial entropy measures in the literature.
